NYC Records

In 1992, Mike brought to bear his vast experience with the creation of NYC RECORDS. An extension of himself, the independent label is a vehicle for exposing new ideas grounded in the jazz idiom. With the hip, fresh sounds of Zachary Breaux and Rachel Z; saxophonists George Garzone and Myron Walden; the eclectic, musical cacophony of Philip DeGruy’s solo guitar; and Mike’s own projects Mike Mainieri, AN AMERICAN DIARY series--featuring Joe Lovano, George Garzone, Eddie Gomez, and Peter Erskine--and the ever evolving STEPS AHEAD group, NYC RECORDS is committed to reshaping music in the new millenium.
